Chapter 142: Madam Xiang’s Matchmaker
"You? Marry Pei Xiang?"
Cheng Shuyi was also confused. "Aren't you close to Miss Song?"
She was still not quite sure what the relationship between Mo Xiao and Miss Song was now.
After all, the two of them are separated by time and space.
But she often helps the two of them deliver messages and things, so it seems that they have a good relationship.
Mo Xiao should have fallen, and it is absolutely impossible for him to marry someone else at this time.
What’s more, that person is Pei Xiang!
Mo Xiao sat down with a slump, his eyes filled with anxiety. "Sister-in-law, I didn't know about this. It was Madam Pei and my mother who made the decision!"
"I couldn't persuade my mother, so I had to ask my brother to help me persuade Madam Pei. Where is my brother?"
"The prince has gone to the palace."
Cheng Shuyi only painted her thumb and didn't continue. She wanted to gossip more: "Tell me in detail, how did you hook up with Pei Xiang?"
"Who hooked up with her?"
Mo Xiao was very dissatisfied with this statement.
He had ingrained in his mind the idea that girls in Yun City only accepted monogamy, and he treated Miss Song wholeheartedly.
"To be honest, I don't have any impression of Pei Xiang at all. I only know that she is a cousin from my brother's house."
In the past, when he went to the Regent's Palace to play, he always went to Pei Yanli's courtyard.
He rarely interacted with other people in the mansion.
He had no impression of the second branch of the Pei family who lived in the small courtyard of the mansion.
Perhaps he had met Pei Xiang when entering and leaving the Regent's Palace, but he really couldn't recognize who was who at that time.
Cheng Shuyi said, "If you don't want to get married, have you ever objected to Madam Mo?"
Mo Xiao slumped weakly onto the table. "I've grown up and still haven't gotten married. My mother is so anxious she wants to marry me off to eight women at once. She's open to any of them!"
"Plus, this time, Madam Pei asked Madam Xiang to act as the matchmaker. How could my mother dare to refuse Madam Xiang?"
"The matchmaker is Madam Xiang..."
Cheng Shuyi had a look of excitement on his face, "Then you'd better obey. Who dares to offend Madam Xiang?"
"Sister-in-law—"
Mo Xiao stretched out his voice in frustration and then started to complain.
"I just don't understand. The marble pavement in my house is so smooth, how could she suddenly twist her ankle and fall straight into my arms?"
"You clearly don't know how to make tea, but you still try to be brave and burn yourself."
"She took everything in my room and threw it around, and then she started crying after throwing things around?"
Mo Xiao was confused, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by she?"
Why do these operations sound so familiar?
Cheng Shuyi lowered his head and laughed.
No way!
Did she really encounter such a ridiculous operation like in a melodramatic idol drama?
Cheng Shuyi laughed enough before saying, "It's obvious that she wants to get your attention."
"To get my attention?" Mo Xiao was puzzled. "Who would deliberately make themselves stupid to attract other people's attention?"
A woman who can fall down while walking on flat ground must be in such poor health.
He is the dignified General Zhenbei. Even if his wife is not a female warrior who is as brave as any man, she cannot be so weak that she has difficulty breathing!
Judging from Pei Xiang's series of actions and Mo Xiao's attitude.
This marriage is not a good one.
Cheng Shuyi said seriously, "But haven't your two families already started discussing marriage? What can I do?"
Mo Xiao placed all his hopes on Pei Yanli and Cheng Shuyi.
"Or, let my brother come forward and ask Madam Pei to rescind her order."
"Or, find a way to make Madam Xiang give up being the matchmaker."
"Otherwise, sister-in-law, please send me to Yun City. I really can't marry Pei Xiang."
Mo Xiao was very serious and also very depressed.
It was as if marrying Pei Xiang made him feel that the future was hopeless.
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu came.
Cheng Shuyi glanced at the two of them and said to Mo Xiao, "I understand. You go back first. I'll discuss this with the prince when he returns."
Seeing that there were guests at Cheng's house, Mo Xiao, as a foreigner, felt it was inconvenient for him to stay too long.
He sighed deeply before he could no longer stand up and leave.
"Meet General Mo."
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu met Mo Xiao in the yard and they exchanged a brief greeting.
Before Cheng Shuyi passed away due to illness, Mo Xiao often went to Cheng's house to see Pei Yanli and the children.
At that time, the two children were taken care of by them in turns, so naturally they recognized Mo Xiao.
Mo Xiao nodded politely at the two of them without saying anything.
Lin Yu quickly walked towards Cheng Shuyi and asked curiously, "Sister, what happened to General Mo? Why is he so dejected?"
Shen Zhou agreed, "Yes, I heard that General Mo is discussing marriage. Good things are coming soon. Why do you look so unhappy?"
"How do you know Mo Xiao is discussing marriage?"
Cheng Shuyi looked surprised.
Has this matter spread throughout Shengjing City?
Shen Zhou smiled and said, "Madam Xiang is acting as matchmaker for General Mo. Everyone knows this."
The matchmaking skills of Lady Xiang are well-known throughout Shengjing City.
Whenever she takes action, it must be known to everyone immediately to live up to her reputation as the Prime Minister.
Shen Zhou heard about it a few days ago when she was invited to the Marquis' Mansion for tea.
"So everyone knows everything..." Cheng Shuyi seemed to be thinking about something.
This is a difficult situation.
With such a big fuss, I'm afraid both the old lady of the prime minister's mansion and Zhao are trying to arrange this marriage with the mentality of making it a success.
How else can this be turned around?
"Sister, what are these things?"
There were many bottles and jars on the table, and the small glass bottles were filled with things of various colors.
I don't know what it is used for.
Cheng Shuyi came back to his senses and stopped thinking about Mo Xiao for the time being.
"This is what you use to make your nails." She took out a sample of nail art styles and handed them to the two of them. "Two sisters, take a look at the styles you like and I'll make them for you."
The nail patterns in that book were the most popular styles before she traveled through time.
There are cat-eye short nails, ice-transparent nude nails, gentle French nails, as well as Chinese style, gradient colors, glitter, and diamonds.
It's so beautiful just looking at it.
Shen Zhou and Lin Yu had never seen such beautiful nail styles.
In Shengjing City, having slender fingers, long and round nails, and wearing a few nail caps is already a symbol of nobility.
They had never thought about it, let alone seen that it was possible to paint on nails!
And it’s painted so beautifully!
"Sister, this thing...oh no, this nail, can you really make it?" Shen Zhou couldn't believe her eyes.
As a woman, the first time I saw these beautiful nails.
She knew that this thing would soon be sought after by all the women in Shengjing City!
Who can resist such beautiful nails!
“As long as the materials are available, I can make it.”
Cheng Shuyi was eager to try it out. She really enjoyed the feeling of getting her nails done with her best friend.
Pursue beauty and please yourself.
You can also chat about gossip together and feel relaxed.
It's her way of relieving stress.
This is also the feeling that neither Pei Yanli nor the child can give her.
Lin Yu stared at them and sighed, "These are so beautiful, I don't know which one to choose."
After saying that, she felt helpless again.
"It's a pity that my nails are too short to do these nice things."
"I can do it."
Cheng Shuyi took out the nail clippers and said, "I'll put the nail clippers on for you. I guarantee that Sister Yu will look beautiful!"
